Just last week I was reading a little story about Oxford in Departures Magazine. Sure enough, its written by Marc Smirnoff, "Ole Miss person". Google him. Interesting biography, interesting firing from the Oxford American magazine. The magazine is based at UCA in Conway, Arkansas now, because the "literary community" in Oxford and Mississippi couldn't keep it afloat.

To call Marc Smirnoff an "Ole Miss person" is a little disingenuous. It's not like he's an alumni or even from Mississippi. He's from California and from my understanding the only reason he ever stayed in Oxford is because his car broke down and he got a job at Square Books where he met a bunch of famous authors and got the idea for the magazine.
The Magazine was given more than it's fair share of money, he (Smirnoff) just sucked at running a magazine.
